The meaning of this song is interesting. After reading a lot of interpretation and the lyrical content itself I have some conclusion on what the song is trying to grasp at.
The song is talking about being human and a man who is tired of being the "Shoulder to cry on" that perhaps due to some unhinted reason someone is blaming him for things he did not do and he feels that we are all human and can make mistakes that this person ought to see how they behave before turning it on him.
Some people believe this is sort of a way he is avoiding responsibility for a mistake he has made, and asking people not to blame him, or make him take responsibility for their hurt.
This man is suggesting that people look deeper into being human and what it really means, that yes we are human and make mistakes but it does not mean we keep doing so it means that people need to stop blaming everything else other than themselves for issues. People need to stop asking for advice then blaming others for giving "bad advice" but learn to look at the " Man in the mirror" and sort out their own issues and that we are all human, and it's normal for humans to make mistakes and be lost.
My personal view on the subject is that it is a mixture of meaning 1,3 but I do feel that as a society on whole people needs to be more responsible because making certain mistakes is not correct.We cannot go through life blaming everyone else, but we also can't go through life not taking responsibility and using the excuse of being "only human". Forgiveness comes with change and self-reflection on our own behaviour.
@55sweetie55 this is super late but hopefully you'll see it and can lend some feedback. I found this song just today, suggested on YouTube. I was confused by one particular line in this song until I read your take on the meaning- I think you might be on to something.

It goes, "Don't ask my opinion, don't ask me to lie. Then beg for forgiveness, for making you cry"

The reason that didn't make sense is because... Why would the person who asked for his opinion then beg for forgiveness because he made them...
The reason that didn't make sense is because... Why would the person who asked for his opinion then beg for forgiveness because he made them cry? Shouldn't they be demanding an apology?
